Identity of foreigners in Poland: based on sociolinguistic research on their language awareness and communication awareness

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of individual and collective language awareness of immigrants living in Poland. The language awareness of my respondents refl ects their communicative awareness: they analyse all language phenomena from the communication viewpoint. The respondents’ stereotypes and communicative experience infl uence the communication process. The article discusses the fear of aggression (language aggression) and two attitudes toward identity: 1) conservative attitude and 2) disintegrative yet innovative attitude [Dubisz 2014, 20]. Language universalism has been characterized as a reflection of an innovative attitude toward identity. A European identity and global identity result from respondents’ willingness to integrate into a new society for economic reasons.
